Finding an affordable eleuthero alternative
Dear Stephen,
I’ve found Herb Pharm eleuthero tincture helpful in boosting energy and relieving fatigue. Some days more than others. But I find it is so expensive, even when bought in quantity. So, I’m wondering what your view is on taking it in dry powdered form and how much would be equivalent to the Herb Pharm tincture. I am already capping my own powdered herbs so it would be easy to add this to my routine. Thanks for all you do. Your book has really helped me.

Stephen’s response:
There is really no substitute for the Herb Pharm eleuthero (which is actually produced in Germany). It is very difficult to make that strong of a tincture without specialized equipment or a lot of fooling around (more of a depth answer than I can do here, a treatise on herbal medicine making). I generally buy it for about $24 per 4 ounces. If you do a Google search you should be able to find it for that which I actually think a reasonable price. The higher $44 per 4 ounce bottle that you can find here and there is a bit much for me as well.
